Very common in my area (Seattle and its Scandinavian population; family
background is Dutch/German and used by them in W. Montana) as "come with"
but not "go with."

Subject: go with




I have a student interested in study the expression "go with" (without an
object) as in, "I'm going to the store. Do you want to go with?"

Does anyone know of studies on the subject? Would you use that expression
yourself?
